I had a negative test for Lyme, but had the rash last summer followed by severe fatigue, joint pain, migraines, tinnitus, and crackling/popping sound in my head. I recently had a partial seizure and facial twitching that would not go away without an anti seizure medication that I cannot tolerate because it makes me even more "foggy" and exhausted.
Also, I was tested for Lyme while on antibiotics for bronchitis. I was told by my gp that this will not effect the test. Ironically, my symptoms became much worse after finishing the ZPack???? I also had a blood test with elevated lymphocytes which could not be explained.

You've come to the right place for help. You need to be evaluated and treated by a Lyme-literate doctor(LLMD). Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease or its complex treatment!
PM sent.
You were having what is called a "herx" (short for Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction) after you took the ZPack, meaning bacteria were being killed off while leaving their toxins, thereby making you feel worse.
